Overview

*Note: the site has been changed considerably by the client and is no longer representative of the initial UI Design*

We had the great fortune of working with the Glacier Media product team leading the Visual Design, User Experience and Front-End Development for the new Times Colonist website. Glacier Media is a diverse and expansive publishing company with varying digital and print products in BC and Alberta. The Times Colonist is their flagship publication and a Victoria landmark.

Working closely with the Product Owner and Project Manager our role was to develop high-fidelity digital mock-ups then translate these into functional interfaces using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. Additionally, the Times Colonist is completely responsive; enabling a seamless user experience across all devices: from desktops to tablets and mobile devices.

Some kind words from the Digital Product Manager:

Tyler is an absolute delight to work with being one of the most talented User Interface Designers I know. He introduced new technologies to a very big project in Responsive Design and HTML5 and created all the designs as well. Tyler doesn’t only excel in Visual designs but is also very capable and advanced in front-end HTML/CSS and JS development. Tyler is instrumental in addressing issues very accurately and delivers fast. It is a pleasure working with Tyler on existing projects and I look forward to collaborate future projects.

Some kind words from the Project Manager at Glacier Media:

The highest recommendation I can give is to hire a resource again, and I would hire Tyler again in a flash. Tyler brings rare, dual expert-level abilities of design and front-end development. He designed a beautiful website for the Times Colonist, then carried it through by developing it using responsive design. Aside from delivering outstanding work to the project, Tyler is a true professional to work with. His flexibility and patience during critical periods was a key factor to our team’s success. I hope to work with Tyler again.
